government
The 46-member team of the Mumbai crime branch that probed the 26/11 terror attack has
finally been awarded Rs6.58 lakh by the Maharashtra government. This is a paltry
amount compared with rewards given in other cases, and these cops are also denied a
one-step promotion, as well. This also took the state government more than four years to
clear the hurdles of rules and regulations.
Rakesh Maria, the then joint commissioner of police (crime) and Deven Bharati, the then
additional commissioner of police (crime) and Ashok Durafe, retired assistant
commissioner of police, have been rewarded with just meritorious certificates.
Inspector Ramesh Mahale, who was the chief investigating officer and put together the
11,350-page charge-sheet received Rs1 lakh, the highest cash award given by the state
government. There are five senior police inspectors (SrPIs), including Mahale, 11 PIs, 10
assistant PIs, one police sub-inspector and 16 constables. The Mumbai police had formed
11 teams for the probe.
As per the government guidelines, no employee should be paid a cash award more than
his/her total monthly salary. However, in this case the rule was amended.
The reward amount is too low compared with other rewards given by the government. For
example, the investigating team probing journalist J Dey murder case got an award of
Rs10 lakh from the state home ministry.

bullet' book has proved that there was complete failure in communication betweenthe control room and officers on ground zero. Deven Bharati fled from the scenewhen he was asked to go to ground zero. Hence, both of them do not even deservea certificate! No court martial against Deven Bharati for running away from duty.Lots of praises for Rakesh Maria in the two member Pradhan Committee report.Sad is the state of our governance.

Public should raise fund to reward these officers and their team.
